New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed the review petition filed by Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI (M)) leader Brinda Karat wherein she had challenged the apex court’s April 29 judgement saying that no cognisable offence could be made out against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Verma for their speeches during the election campaigning of the 2020 Delhi assembly elections, reported Bar and Bench.The review petition was dismissed in chambers, with the Supreme Court finding no ground to revisit its earlier decision.Earlier, a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta had rejected Karat’s application seeking an open court hearing of the review petition.Subsequently it dismissed the review petition itself on July 29.“We have gone through the review petition as well as the grounds in support thereof. We do not find any error, much less apparent, in the order impugned, warranting its reconsideration,” said the bench.Karat’s petition had cited different speeches made by Thakur and Verma, including the speech dated January 27, 2020 given by Anurag Thakur at a rally shouting the slogan “desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maaron saalon ko”.The petition also made a reference to a speech made by Parvesh Verma dated January 27-28, 2020, while he was campaigning for the BJP and subsequently in an interview given to media.The petition stated that in campaign statements and interviews, Verma had warned that protesters at Shaheen Bagh who were opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) would eventually “enter houses and rape and kill people”, if not stopped.At present Verma is the deputy chief minister of Delhi, while Thakur is a BJP MP and a former Union minister.Karat had first approached the Delhi police, seeking that they registered a criminal case against Thakur and Verma for the offences of promoting enmity between groups and outraging religious sentiments. When the police refused to register the FIR against the two politicians, Karat had approached a trial court seeking directions to order the FIR.But the trial court had also rejected Karat’s plea and later in 2022, the Delhi high court had affirmed the view of the trial court, which prompted Karat to approach the Supreme Court.The present review petition was filed after on April 29 this year, the apex court had taken the view that no cognisable offence could be made out for registration of an FIR.
